.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBtlmgr\fR manages an existing TeX Live installation, both packages and
options.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
The following options have to be given \fIbefore\fR you specify the action.
.IP "\fB\-\-location\fR \fIlocation\fR" 8
.IX Item "--location location"
Specifies the location from which packages should be installed or
updated, overriding the location found in the installation's \s-1TLPDB\s0.
.IP "\fB\-\-gui\fR" 8
.IX Item "--gui"
Instead of starting the \s-1GUI\s0 via the \fBgui\fR action, you can also give this
option together with an action from above and will be brought directly
into the respective screen of the \s-1GUI\s0. So calling
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&  tlmgr \-\-gui update
.Ve
.Sp
will bring you directly into the update screen.
.IP "\fB\-\-netarchive\fR \fIdir\fR" 8
.IX Item "--netarchive dir"
Overrides the default settings for netarchive. Should be used with care.
.IP "\fB\-\-diskarchive\fR \fIdir\fR" 8
.IX Item "--diskarchive dir"
Overrides the default settings for diskarchive. Should be used with care.
.PP
The standard options \fB\-\-help/\-h/\-?\fR and \fB\-\-debug\fR are also accepted.
.SH "ACTIONS"
.IX Header "ACTIONS"
.IP "\fBhelp\fR" 8
.IX Item "help"
Gives this help page.
.IP "\fBgui\fR" 8
.IX Item "gui"
Run using a graphical interface.
.IP "\fBinstall [\f(BIoption\fB]... \f(BIpkg\fB...\fR" 8
.IX Item "install [option]... pkg..."
Install all \fIpkg\fRs given on the command line. By default this installs
all packages that the given \fIpkg\fRs are dependent on, also.  Options:
.RS 8
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-depends\fR" 8
.IX Item "--no-depends"
Do not install dependencies.  Bydefault, installing a package ensures
that all dependencies of this package are fulfilled.
.IP "\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR" 8
.IX Item "--dry-run"
Nothing is actually installed; instead, the actions to be performed are
written to the terminal.
.RE
.RS 8
.RE
.IP "\fBupdate [\f(BIoption\fB] [pkg [pkg ...]]\fR" 8
.IX Item "update [option] [pkg [pkg ...]]"
Updates the packages given as arguments to the latest version available
at the installation source. Options:
.RS 8
.IP "\fB\-\-all\fR" 8
.IX Item "--all"
Update all package.
.IP "\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR" 8
.IX Item "--dry-run"
Nothing is actually installed; instead, the actions to be performed are
written to the terminal.
.RE

.RE
.IP "\fBremove [\f(BIoption\fB]... \f(BIpkg\fB...\fR" 8
.IX Item "remove [option]... pkg..."
Remove all \fIpkg\fRs given on the command line.  Removing a collection
will remove all package dependencies (but not collection dependencies)
in that collection, unless \f(CW\*(C`\-\-no\-depends\*(C'\fR is specified.  However, when
removing a package, dependencies are never removed.
.Sp
Removing a package which is referenced as a dependency in another
collection or scheme is disallowed, unless \f(CW\*(C`\-\-force\*(C'\fR is specified.
.Sp
Options:
.RS 8
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-depends\fR" 8
.IX Item "--no-depends"
Do not remove dependent packages.
.IP "\fB\-\-force\fR" 8
.IX Item "--force"
By default, when removing a package or collection would invalidate a
dependency of another collection/scheme, the package will not be removed
and a warning issued.  With this option, the package will be removed
unconditionally.  Use with care.
.IP "\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR" 8
.IX Item "--dry-run"
Nothing is actually installed; instead, the actions to be performed are
written to the terminal.

The first form shows the settings currently saved in the \s-1TLPDB\s0.
.Sp
In the second form, if \fIvalue\fR is missing the setting for \fIkey\fR is
displayed.  If \fIvalue\fR is present, \fIkey\fR is set to \fIvalue\fR.
.Sp
Possible values for \fIkey\fR are:
\&\f(CW\*(C`location\*(C'\fR (default installation source),
\&\f(CW\*(C`formats\*(C'\fR (create formats at installation time),
\&\f(CW\*(C`docfiles\*(C'\fR (install documentation files),
\&\f(CW\*(C`srcfiles\*(C'\fR (install source files).

.IP "\fB[xdvi|dvips|pdftex|dvipdfm|dvipdfmx] paper [help|papersize]\fR" 8
.IX Item "[xdvi|dvips|pdftex|dvipdfm|dvipdfmx] paper [help|papersize]"
.PD
Configures the system wide paper settings, either for all programs in
one go, or just for the specified program.
.IP "\fBarch list\fR" 8
.IX Item "arch list"
Prints the names of the systems available at the default install location.
.IP "\fBarch add \f(BIarch\fB...\fR" 8
.IX Item "arch add arch..."
Add executables for the specified \fIarch\fRes to the installation.
Options:

.IP "\fBsearch [\f(BIoption\fB...] \f(BIwhat\fB\fR" 8
.IX Item "search [option...] what"
By default searches the names, short and long descriptions of all
locally installed packages for the given argument (interpreted as
regexp).  Options:
.RS 8
.IP "\fB\-\-file\fR" 8
.IX Item "--file"
List all filenames containing \fIwhat\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-global\fR" 8
.IX Item "--global"
Search the TeX Live Database of the installation medium, instead of the
local installation.
.RE
.RS 8
.RE
.IP "\fBshow \f(BIpkg\fB...\fR" 8
.IX Item "show pkg..."
Shows information about \fIpkg\fR: the name, category, installation status,
short and long description.  Searches in the remote installation source
for the package if it is not locally installed.
.IP "\fBlist [collections|schemes]\fR" 8
.IX Item "list [collections|schemes]"
With no argument, lists all packages available at the default install
location, prefixing those already installed with \f(CW\*(C`i \*(C'\fR.
.Sp
With an argument lists only collections or schemes, as requested.
.IP "\fBuninstall\fR" 8
.IX Item "uninstall"
Uninstalls the entire TeX Live installation.  Options:
.RS 8
.IP "\fB\-\-force\fR" 8

.PD
\&\fB\s-1WARNING:\s0\fR This action overwrites any user changes made in
the respective files, by regenerating them from scratch.
.Sp
This is especially questionable with updmap, because the result will be
to disable all maps which have been manually installed (via \f(CW\*(C`updmap\-sys
\&\-\-enable\*(C'\fR), e.g., for proprietary or local fonts.  Be sure that's what
you want to do.
.Sp
This action regenerates any of the three config files \f(CW\*(C`language.dat\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`fmtutil.cnf\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`updmap.cfg\*(C'\fR from the information present in the
local \s-1TLPDB\s0. If the files \f(CW\*(C`language\-local.dat\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`fmtutil\-local.cnf\*(C'\fR,
or \f(CW\*(C`updmap\-local.cfg\*(C'\fR are present under \f(CW\*(C`TEXMFLOCAL\*(C'\fR in the respective
directories, their contents will be simply merged into the final files,
with no error checking of any kind.
.Sp
Options:
.RS 8
.IP "\fB\-\-dest\fR \fIoutput file\fR" 8
.IX Item "--dest output file"
